Answer 1

(a) Skeletal equation: H₂ (g) + N₂(g) →NH₃(g)

Balanced equation: 3H₂ (g)+ N₂(g) →2NH₃(g)

(b) Skeletal equation: H₂S (g) + O₂(g) → H₂O (l) + SO₂(g)

Balanced equation: 2H₂S(g) + 3O₂ (g) → 2H₂O(l) + 2SO₂(g)

(c) Skeletal equation: BaCl₂(aq) + Al₂SO₄(aq) → AlCl₃(aq) + BaSO₄(s)

Balanced equation: 3BaCl₂(aq) + Al₂(SO₄)₃(aq) → 2AlCl₃(aq) + 3BaSO₄(s)

(d) Skeletal equation: K(s) + H₂O(l) → KOH(aq) + H₂(g)

Balanced equation: 2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g)

Answer 2

Hi,

Here is your answer

a) N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3

b) 2 H2S + 3 O2 → 2 H2O + 2 SO2

c) 3 BaCl2 + 2 Al(SO4)3 → 3 BaSO4 + 2 AlCl3

d) 2 K + 2 H2O → 2 KOH + H2 ↑

Hope this helps you.
